Category Description to not be displayed

Hi,
When editing my categories I notice beneath the description box "The description is not prominent by default; however, some themes may show it."
Can I opt for my category description to be loaded for seo but to not display on category pages, or is this still frowned upon by Google?
That would be frowned upon. They don't like when websites try to do something just for Google and not your users.
Thanks Tom. Iunderstand but if this is the case, I must ask why Wordpress chooses to hide this as their default then?
It's up to the theme to display it or not, not WordPress. GP displays the category description for you by default :)
Thanks Tom, much appreciated.
No problem :)
Hello there.I had same issue and came across this forum topic.My description in category page was also not showing.After trying many codes etc i found out that if we don't have any blogs related to that category it wont show up the description.As soon as i added one blog under that category,description of my category pages started showing.Hope this helps.
Thanks for sharing the solution :)
